Six Sigma Methods and Tools in Manufacturing (5) S This is the third and final course in the Quality series for the MfET program. Six Sigma methods use statistical tools to bring about continual improvement of quality in manufactured goods and services and to document that positive change has occurred . These tools include: Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Measurement Systems, Control Charts, Multi-Vari and Multivariate charts, Process Capability Analysis, and Design of Experiments. Students will learn and apply these methods and tools through class participation and completion of required projects. Course will utilize Minitab and Microsoft Excel Spread sheet software. Five lectures per week. Prerequisite: MfET 2410 and MfET 3810. MfET 4050. Detailed Scheduling and Planning I (2) Techniques and practices of detailed scheduling and planning of inventory management including order review methodologies, policies and functions of inventory. Covers lot sizing, safety stock techniques, demand, and Just-in-Time as they relate to detailed scheduling and planning. Prerequisite: MfET 3510 or equivalent. (APICS series). Evening classes only. MfET 4150. Execution and Control of Operations (2) Focuses on prioritizing and sequencing work, executing work plans, implementing controls, reporting activity results, and evaluating and providing feedback on performance. Eval. Prerequisite: MfET 3510 or equivalent. (APICS Series). Evening classes only. MfET 4200. Manufacturing Processes (2) Manufacturing processes define the methods that companies use in designing, producing, and delivering goods and services required by customers. The manufacturing processes provide the execution component to the other activities of the integrated manufacturing system. Beginning with customer requirements and needs, they design, build, operate, upgrade, and maintain a manufacturing process which is most supportive of and consistent with those needs and requirements. To achieve these objectives, manufacturing processes draw on three different but very interrelated subsystems: industrial facilities management, process design and development, and manufacturing. (APICS Series) Evening classes only. MfET 4210. Cost Estimating and Engineering Economics (2) Production cost structure, operation costing, break-even analysis, make buy decision, and capital equipment justification. Computer aids are used to analyze cost data. Three lectures per week. Prerequisites: Math QL1080; TBE TE1700. Co-requisite: MfET 4610. MfET 4250. Detailed Scheduling and Planning (2) Detailed explanation of inventory management including order review methodologies, policies and functions of inventory. Covers material requirements planning (MRP) and other material planning and capacity requirements planning techniques. Includes concepts, principles, interfaces, desired characteristics, applications, and supplier relations. Prerequisite: MfET 3510 or equivalent. (APICS Series) Evening classes only. MfET SI4300. Design of Experiments (2) A step-by-step description of procedures used to organize, conduct and evaluate industrial experiments. Emphasizes the usefulness of results and the decision criteria for choosing the proper design. Prerequisite: MfET SI2410 MfET 4350. Principles of Lean Manufacturing (2) This course introduces students to lean manufacturing and waste reduction concepts such as work standardization, visual manufacturing & workplace organization, value stream mapping, setup reduction & batch size reduction, quality at the source, point of use storage, total productive maintenance, pull systems/kanbans, tack time calculation and cellular/synchronous manufacturing design concepts.
